not being there

“Continuously not being there makes people start to feel as if you are not really there from the beginning.”

Look Inside Yourself

There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of your body,
seek that mine.
O traveler, if you are in search of That
Don't look outside!,
look inside yourself and seek That.

Rumi 

 

Change Management

1.0 Introduction

Today change is constant and it is rapidly occurs in organizations. The change in an organization happens either in public sector or in private sector. Thus, it can be seen that leaders who anticipated with the change and react rapidly and responsibly to the change take place in the organization are more successful than those who notice less about the change. However, organizational leaders who are anticipated and invent the future tend to become more successful. This is because those who invent the game or start the changes first are the leaders in their industry while other organizations only act as the followers that try to adapt with the change. There are also organizations that failed to survive with the change.

2.0 Definition of Change Management

Based on the Australian National Training Authority (2003), change management is a strategic activity focusing on getting the best results from the change process. It tends to make connections between strategy and the change management itself. In a review of effective strategy-making and change management for high-performing VET organizations, Mitchell (2002) describe strategies as “making choices about which customers to focus on, which product to offer, and which activities to perform”. He also describes it as “a dynamic and ongoing activity”. Therefore, strategic management is about the ability to identify, choose and implementing activities that would help to enhance and aid in the long term performance of an organization.

In addition, change management is concern about how to manage the change which is part of or a consequence from a strategy in order to suit with the organization’s context and the type of change required (Mitchell, 2002). Horton (1990) added that change management is about exploring choices and choosing suitable pathways.

3.0 Types of Change

            Crouch (2002) stated that “if you don’t know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.” Thus, identifying the change is the first crucial step for an organization before determining the suitable strategies and plans needed to be implemented in an organization. This is because different kind of change requires different strategies and plans to effectively gain employee engagement and acceptance of change (Tucker, 2007). The second step is to identify the suitable approach that can be implemented in an organization in order to overcome the resistance to implementing organization change as the change management theories effectively support and help on how to deal with developmental and transitional change. However, it is less effective at dealing with successfully implementing transformational change. Therefore, the second step can be applied once the type of change that the organization is experiencing has been identified.

            Change in an organization or in a management is inevitable. There are different strategies used for different kind of changes. Thus, is important to identify the current situation or the change take place in that time. According to Tucker (2007), there are three common types of change that occur most frequently in organizations. Those change involved are developmental, transitional and transformational.

3.1 Developmental Change

Developmental change occurs when a company makes some improvement to their current business. It occurs as they decide to have an improvement in term of processes, methods, or performance standards. Company which adopts developmental change will continually process the change to stay competitive among other competitors. As a result, this type of change would possibly cause little stress among employees.

In a major change such as the decision to close a division, employees may be more likely to accept the change if the company attempted to implement developmental change as the first step in streamlining the business. Through this strategy, employees could see that the company tried different strategies before determining that closing the division is the only option.

3.2 Transitional Change

As compared to the developmental change, the transitional change is more intrusive. Transitional change replaces the existing processes or procedure with something that is completely new to the organizations. Transitional phase is the period when the old process is being dismantled and the new process is being implemented.

Some examples of transitional change are reorganization of the corporate structure, designing or creating new products and services, and implementing new technology in the working environment of the organization. Transitional change might not necessarily require a significant shift in culture or behavior of the people involved. However, transitional change is more challenging than the developmental change and the future of the organization is unknown when the transformation begins. This situation can somehow turn out to add a level of discomfort to employees.

As the future of the organization which undergoes transitional change is unknown, it makes the employees to feel that their job is unstable. This situation may increase the personal insecurities among employees. Employees may start to feel that their working environment is threatening them and their position is unprotected.

Employer could overcome this situation by providing education or information to the employees about the new implemented procedures. This step should be commenced at each stage of the new process because it may allow employees to feel that they are actively participated and engage in the change. The level of resistance to the change may decrease as the employees’ level of engagement in the new procedure increases. This will eventually help employees to adapt with change better. Thus, company or the organization that undergo change should constantly and continue to inform the employees of their status. This is to support and helping them deal with the personal adjustment they will be forced to make.

3.3 Transformational Change

Transformational change occurs after the transition period. Transformational change may involve both developmental and transitional change. Besides, it is also common for transitional and transformational change to occur in cycle. As an example, when company is facing with the emergence of radically different technologies, significant changes in supply and demand, unexpected competition, lack of revenue or other major shift in how they do their business, developmental or transitional change may not offer the company the solution they need in order to stay competitive  among other competitors. Instead of just implementing the new processes, the company may need to drastically transform themselves.

4.0 Coping with Change Management

Change in management involves both an individual within the organization and the organization itself. Therefore, both perspective need to be take into account in order to ensure a successful change management. First, the most crucial step in managing any type of organizational change is to understand how to manage change with a single individual within an organization.

In understanding the role of individual in change management, employer should know how one person could make a change successfully. This is because in change management, the organizations don’t change but the individuals do. Therefore, the successful of a project depends on the employees who could manage and do their work independently and do different job assign to them. Employees should also be able to cooperate among each other in completing the work been assign. An effective change management requires the understanding of how one person could make a change and adapt to it successfully.

Secondly, employer should understand the organizational change management. Organizational change management is the ability to understand what tools need to be used in helping individuals to make a successful change. As change happen one person at a time, there are processes and tools that can be used to facilitate this change thus, aiding employees to adapt with the change successfully. Communication and training are some of the tools used to facilitate changes.

5.0 Summary

            Strategies cannot simply be copied from other organizations whether in the same or different industry as every organization is unique in their own way (Mitchell, 2002). Therefore, an organization should emphasize the purpose of the change before they applied it in their organization. This is to achieve a clear objective of the work and help them to plan for future. In addition, Gooley and Towers (2000) highlighted that partnering and collaborative arrangements are considered essential to the survival of the organization. Management also needs to be very active during change phases to institute reinforcement tactics. This step is important as some sort of reinforcement is necessary to produce changes in behavior Robbins, 2005).

been hurt

Someone hurt you…

and as a result, you have a deep open wound…

Then, the person who hurt you just says sorry and asks you to stop crying…

Just a sorry….without even tries to heal your wound…

REMEMBER….

Sorry alone doesn’t heal a wound…

Even if they try to heal it, the mark is still there…

So, if someone hurt you,

Don’t do the same to them.

If you make a mistake,

Try to correct it…

Don’t just leave it…

Or try to forget it…

You have to settle it down…

Otherwise, you just gonna make it worse…

Things might be easy to forget.

But it is still there…if you left it unsettled. 

Because I Miss You…..

Because I Miss You…..

Always under exactly the same sky, always exactly the same day
Other than your not being here, there’s nothing different at all
I just want to smile, want to forget everything
Just like absolutely nothing has happened, smiling to live my days

Miss you, miss you so much, because I miss you so much
Everyday all by myself, calling and calling you
Want to see you, want to see you, because I want to see you so much
Now it’s like I have this habit, keep calling out your name
It’s the same today

I thought I’d let go, not leaving anything behind
No, no, now I still can’t let you go
Miss you, miss you so much, because I miss you so much
Everyday all by myself, calling and calling you

Want to see you, want to see you, because I want to see you so much
Now it’s like I have this habit, keep calling out your name
It’s the same today

Everyday, everyday, it feels like I’m gonna die, what should I do?

Love you, love you, I love you
I hadn’t even spoken the words, I just let you go
Sorry, sorry, do you hear my words
My late confession, can you hear it
I love you

  

But I could not say......

And I know I wouldn’t hear the same from anyone.....
Never mind if it is just me.....

:')  biyanee (I'm sorry)...

Where Do You Put HIM?

The one who seek to know what place Allah has set for him (in akhirah) should first consider where he places Allah (in his life).

[Hadith Hasan in Al-Silsilah As-Sahihah #2310]

 

(TT____TT) I felt like crying reading this hadith....starting to ask myself....

Where do I put Allah in my life? Do I put him in every angle or in every corner of my heart...do I??

Love Allah and people will love you...!

Alhamdulillah...

There are some good qualities that are never developed until you are put into a difficult situation. You would never learn sabr until you are in a difficult situation. It only blooms under difficult circumstances. 

Gratitude-Only when something is taken away is when you appreciate what you had. Even in difficulty, there is huge blessing~

For every struggle is a blessing which it is a chance for you to redeem yourself in front of Allah subhanahu wata'ala~

Subhanallah Walhamdulillah Walailahaillallah Allahu Akbar…

Indeed…Allah is all known…nothings is for vain.

Everything happens for reasons…

Today…is a meaningful day for me.

Not to mention it here… =) but I am really really truly grateful!

Oo Allah Alhamdulillah for everything~ all praise be for Allah.

Less is more…

Friday, 20 April 2012

Jam hampir menginjak ke pukul 4 pagi dan mata ini masih belum tertutup. Masih berjaga menahan rasa mengantuk. Ada assignment yang masih perlu disiapkan…ada nota yang perlu ditelaah buat persediaan menghadapi exam esok hari. Otak terasa lelah. Lelah memikirkan segala macam hal.

Dua hari lepas ada exam. Malangnya tatkala kaki telah mengatur langkah ke dewan kuliah, diri rebah di tangga. Tak mampu mengatur  untuk terus berjalan. Kepala berpinar. Badan terasa lemah, lesu, tiada tenaga…Allah…salah sendiri sebab tak makan. Tambah buruk bila badan sudah sedia lemah akibat sakit yang datang menjengah. Akhirnya dengan sisa kudrat yang ada aku mencapai handphone. Mencari nama lecturer yang berkenaan mohon pelepasan. Dengan suara yang lemah aku cuba bercakap…badan terasa menggigil. Pandangan sedia berpinar. Ya Allah jangan la aku pengsan dan jatuh tangga! Alhamdulillah mujur pensyarahku memahami. :’) I can detect the changes in his voice. Bernada risau mendengar suara aku yang mungkin agar bergetar.

Esok…masih ada assignment yang perlu dihantar. Masih ada exam yang perlu ditempuh. Sakit ini masih belum kebah sepenuhnya. Namun harapnya esok aku masih betah berdiri.

Yang sebenarnya aku masih risau. Masih resah. Masih memikir. Masih ingat. Masih sedih. Masih terasa. Masih mencari jawapan. Masih mencuba. Masih menanti. I still………… entah macam mana…nak meyakinkan diri. Benda yang sangat susah. Paling teruk…bila benda ni dari hati bawa ke otak. Dari otak bawa ke badan. Akhirnya melarat…ikut rasa badan jadi binasa. (sigh) I try…I try…

Just…I hope I won’t lose hope. I hope for a brighter tomorrow. I hope to see the sunshine smile at me once again while shining brightly on me. I hope………I would not lose hope because I do believe……Insha'allah.

PS: “…Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me.” [al-Qur'an:26:62]

Lebih Baik...

I really hope to hear the truth.......
The reason....an explanation.....
I need it...untuk bina semula rasa percaya dan keyakinan terhadap sesuatu.....
I truly need it....

Quotes & Thought

Appreciate who ever that makes you as their priority in their lives. Otherwise you are going to regret it later (yes I do feel it now…thehee--->pathetic!).

Respect people who find time for you in their busy schedule. But LOVE people who never look at their schedule when you need them (Never find one yet…Everybody are busy with their own live and everyone got their own time for something).

Lelaki sejati bukannya yang mempunyai ramai wanita dalam hidupnya tetapi dia yang menolak ramai wanita hanya demi wanita yang dicintainya (copy paste from my friend-->boleh pakai ke falsafah ni?).

If someone really wants to be a part of your life, they will really make an effort to be in it. =) (Tapi tak semua orang mampu bertahan lama-lama dengan segala macam halangan. Susah….amat susah untuk ditemui…Amat beruntung mereka-mereka yang beruntung punya teman sejati yang mahu berdamping dunia akhirat)

The only people you need in your life are the ones that need you in theirs.   

Ps: I love my family :’)

Never let anyone fall for you when you know there's Someone Else in your heart and mind. (It’s cruel…a biggest crime of heart! woha~)

Developing new feelings for someone is easy. The hard part is, getting rid of the old emotions you had for someone else. (indeed...)

Do you know what happens when you continuously ignore people? You're teaching them a happy life without you. (and I hate distance…and the load of work which makes you being busy…because it does the same thing too.dear family, please keep loving and missing me…sob3)

Utamakan mereka yang mengutamakan anda dalam hidup mereka kerana ia tidak akan mengecewakan anda.

The truth hurts, but it doesn’t kill. The lie pleases, but it doesn’t heal. (so don’t you ever lie!)

Ps: I feel, I thought, therefore I wrote…and here it is…

Difference In Me

Difference In Me

There's something in the silence
I never used to feel
There's something about knowing
That tells you this is real
When you're close
all I know I don't want to let you go

Hello happiness
Tell me where you've been
I missed the sound of your voice
missed the touch of your skin
It's no secret I'm Not who I used to be
Anyone can see
You're the difference in me
Oh the difference

I'm standing at your doorstep
Let me look into your eyes
We could strip away the secrets
Between you and me tonight

Won't you say it's OK
Let the world just fade away

Yeah the difference in me
The difference
When you're close all I know I don't want to let you go

Yeah the difference in me
Oh the difference
There's something in the silence I never used to feel

A song sung by Westlife; entitled Difference In Me

This song got nothing in particular about me. I wrote it here…it’s because I just love the music and the “Hello happiness, Tell me where you've been” part…thehehe~

Dear smile, please don’t fade…

=)

Sometimes it just miracle

How someone smile could make your day

Or just by knowing that

The person you love is smiling,

Or hearing them laughing

Then you feel like…

All the burden in your chest is lift up

The sadness is all gone

And you’re smiling unconsciously… 

Ps: I love my dear parents, friends, etc… (^.^)v
